Tricks
Asylum Wrist Restraint by Blaine Harris
Escape
Artists; Magicians... From the archives of Blaine Harris, we present the
Asylum Wrist Restraint (Yes. It's the same Blaine Harris some of you may
remember from Premier 75 Magic Studio back in 1975). The Asylum Wrist
Restraint is completely examinable and can be used as a feature escape
or as part of a larger effect (Sub Trunk, Torture Board, Spirit Cabinet,
Packing Crate, etc.). Based on a very old principle, this new version
has some improvements that make it easier and more fool-proof than its
predecessors. This restraint is 100% hand-made by Blaine and is designed
for years of tough service. The leather is thick top-quality American
Latigo Cowhide. The performer's wrists are bound as tightly as possible
by an audience member yet release is instantaneous and completely under
the control of the performer. The wrist restraint has a new added feature
in a buckle that can receive a padlock making it look really impossible!
The lock can even be sealed for extra effect. The restraint is ungimmicked
and no extra keys or special hidden equipment necessary. It may even be
placed on an audience member proving escape impossible. What you receive:
22" long adjustable heavy leather belt restraint Padlock to fit the locking
buckle 7 page color instruction booklet with photos by my good friend
Allen Zingg. These instructions contain valuable tips and suggestions
for performances as well as "how-to!"
$55.00
Black Tie by Kenton Knepper
Finally a modern thumb tie, with the distinctive Kenton touch. Plastic
cable ties (the type police use to subdue criminals)are examined. These
ungimmicked "plasti-cuffs" are strapped around the performer's thumbs
by a spectator. NO crossing of thumbs, bending them down or any of the
usual stuff. This is as legit in appearance as you can get. Still, the
performer's tied arms penetrate rings, chairs, poles, people - you name
it. Kenton applies his novel and original concepts to the thumb tie problem
and the results are startling. As you would expect, ample psychology and
suggestion are examined with fine precision. Black Tie is for professionals.
Kenton gives precise details of his secret methods and psychology. You
must be able to create your own routine. Basic texts on magic can supply
such routines if you do not know any. Kenton does NOT give complete routines
for you to copy. But all who wish to learn the real inside work of Kenton's
original thumb tie, how to perform it, how to use Kenton's various options,
what to keep in mind as you perform thumb ties... all of this and much
more is here. This is NOT the same old thing. Penetrations can be made
visually. Yet you are seen to be bound. Your thumbs are NOT in two loops
- but one. Just like real-life police ties. Even though spectators see
your thumbs are being "cut into by the cable" you may instantly release
yourself... Even if you have never been able to do any kind of thumb tie
before. Nothing to hide, add or take away. The cables are normal. You
need nothing but these cables and Kenton's secret work. You receive every
nuance as used by Kenton and other famed magical personalities on stage
and television, in over 35 pages with clear illustrations. Includes several
practice ties so you may begin right away. Docc Hilford says: "They'll
remember you for THIS one. It is a real classic and an honest to goodness
breakthrough".
